Any of you do rack bench from dead stop?

How many sets/reps? Any results?

What's your 1rm bench vs. dead stop?

My max bench is 330, but even 285 from dead was hard af

Wut, like a pin bench with the bar coming to a dead stop a few inches above your chest?




It’s probably weaker cause it’s a new movement that you haven’t trained as much as your regular bench

Bar on or near chest, tighten and then push to top. So essentially you're only doing the second half of a bench press movement.

You no longer have any momentum working in your favor.

What the difference in weights/rep range for pause bench vs regular?

10lbs difference at most. I just do normal 5-10 rep range usually.

I've been kinda interested in trying the variation you're talking about but don't really know how to work it in.

Reason I'm doing it is the second half of the concentric movement of my bench is my weakest (essentially the tricep lockout)

So i did it today from the safety bar, set a couple inches above my chest.

Tried a few different things, but I'd definitely say I preferred going 1-2 reps per set.

Not sure how to work it in with the rest of the chest workout either.

Close grip bench is GOAT for developing lockout strength (srs)

I do it on my second bench day as the main movement

I like it, but it's rough on the shoulders for me for some reason
